How do I keep the navigation bar open - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

It keeps closing whenever I play a game and the back press back.button is honestly REALLY useful as I hate swiping on the bottom just to

If you swipe up, there should be a little dot the far left of your bar. Double tap that button and your nav bar should be visible all the time.

White bar at bottom of screen

Hey,
Anytime I open up my phone to text a white bar shows up at the bottom of the screen. It's been happening for like 2-3 weeks now, but can't figure out what it is. Basically anytime I slide up, the screen switches to landscape and it automatically has a white bar on the bottom. If I click the screen, everything is moved and the screen reacts like the bar isn't there(as in I have to click an inch below anything I want to actually hit)
Any ideas? Thanks guys!
Really? No one can help?
Can you post screenshots of your screen?
Is this a physical screen problem or a graphic problem?

How can I tell which is which?
The problem is pretty easy to explain, dunno how to do a screenshot... Basically it is my normal screen, just like always, except at the bottom there is a white bar, maybe 1/4 inch thick. What it does is move all my graphics up. So the start bar is not visible, and the send button(for txt messaging) would be right above the white part.
If I hit something I can see on the screen, it will act like I'm hitting where the graphic is supposed to be. For example, on the text messaging screen, if I hit the part that says "Inbox" (which is located at the very top of my screen because of the white bar), it will bring up the Start Menu as if I hit the start menu(which I did tap where the start button would be if the white bar wasn't there, but graphically the start bar is off the screen and I am tapping where the start button would be, but instead it is now the Inbox button that is there instead, but the behavior acts like there is no white bar there)

space bar & home button

I have a slight problem in that I have large fingers and when I type (Swiftkey 3) every now and then I hit the Home button instead of the space bar, Has anyone got any suggestions on how to move the Home button to the side?

[Q] Lefthand options bar, and right hand multitasking

So I was wondering, how can one configure the lefthand and righthand menus to pop up faster, and without going into the corner of the screen? Ideally, I want to be able to touch anywhere on the screen edge to activate those menus. And if at all possible, I'd like to move the multitasking UI to the top of the screen instead of on the left. Thanks =]
Wouldn't it get in the way if all you had to do was move the mouse to the edge of the screen? Scroll bars would be pretty impossible to use...
I don't really have any problems with its speed. Do you know that if you move the cursor to a corner and directly up/down, the Charms/Multitasking bar will appear almost instantly? It doesn't wait for you, if you're quick.

Is there any way to put Nav Controls on the Second Screen?

I have my V20 navigation controls hidden for almost all apps because I like the full 5.7" screen always displayed, but it's a pain sometime to swipe up to get access to them. Is there any way to get a 3rd party app that you can put into the Second Screen as an app shortcut, and when you click the app shortcut icon it will navigate DIRECTLY with the one press on the second screen (i.e. go to home screen and back button, mainly)? I don't think it could be a widget because you can't load widgets as a app shortcut on the 2nd screen. Note that I am NOT rooted.
Probably not but I just thought I'd ask.
This actually works in the nav bar as a return to home button, although will not appear on recent apps when used. Now looking for a back button

If you have any sort of experience with Tasker I'm sure you can create a simple task that goes back, and just assign it to a button that you throw on the 2nd screen though I just checked and some widgets don't actually work in the 2nd screen. Greenify works fine but my mobile payment app doesnt't.
Seems like it can't be a widget or floating button. Can't find a back button that works by clicking the app shortcut icon like the home button does above (i.e. no app options - click and executes the one function directly). Oh well at least I have half what i need.
A pain to swipe up but easier to reach all the to the top of the screen? Smh. Doesn't make sense.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm often at the top of my screen switching apps and want to get to the home screen. Plus ONE press on a button instead of a swipe up and press and have it hide again. My thumb is on average in the middle of the screen so up and down or the same. Plus if holding the phone in my left hand it's easier to get at the top with my right hand index finger. Just tried the home button above and definitely faster and less annoying then the hidden nav bar. Doesn't seem like there is a similar back button anywhere that i can find.

All I have to say is software nav FTW!

Slide to split-screen

Hello, i found little tip to open apps in splitscreen mode bit quicker. Just open app, place 2 fingers on navigation bar (ie. On triangle and square button) and swipe it up
